The "flitsaar" bus service in the Bickenalbtal valley has enjoyed great popularity since its introduction at the beginning of the year. The district administration's mobility department has now announced that a number of adjustments have been made to optimise the service in order to further improve the opportunities for using the "flitsaar".
On the one hand, a morning collective journey has been introduced, which ensures connections to the services to Homburg at Blieskastel bus station from 6.40 am. On the other hand, the service times in the afternoon and evening have now also been optimised so that additional capacity is available. By extending the operating time of the second vehicle, even more journeys can now be booked in the afternoon/evening. In addition, the operating times have been extended from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays to Fridays.
District Administrator Dr Theophil Gallo commented: "We are delighted that the new "flitsaar" transport service has been so well received. The high demand shows that such flexible public transport services are in tune with the times and will continue to play an increasingly important role in sustainable mobility in the Saarpfalz district in the future."
The times are now Monday to Friday from 5.30 am to 9 pm and Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 7 am to 8 pm (first and last journey in each case).
An information brochure is available on the Saarpfalz district website at https://www.saarpfalz-kreis.de/oepnv in the "Downloads" section.
Bookings can be made via the flitsaar app, www.flitsaar.de, or by telephone on (06841) 104-7252.
